Police say they have arrested a 23-year-old policeman on suspicion of money laundering, along with ten others.

The force says eight men and three women, aged between 19 and 30, were suspected of having dealt with crime proceeds totalling HK$210 million.

The arrests came after the Narcotics Bureau received a report of suspicious bank transactions.

Police say they have since frozen HK$760,000.

The arrested officer has been suspended.
